The Corona Contracts team recently completed a noteworthy project for the Peninsula Group at their Hinckley, Leicestershire site. Drawing on our expertise in commercial roller blinds, we designed, manufactured and efficiently installed 60 custom roller blinds to spec as part of the company’s ongoing refurbishment at the Hinckley facility. The installation was strategically carried out overnight to minimize disruption to Peninsula Group’s operations and fit perfectly with their refurbishment schedule. This was a great opportunity to showcase our commitment to flexibility, precision, and customer satisfaction. The blinds seamlessly integrated into our client’s schedule and used materials and colours specifically chosen to perfectly match the aesthetic of their interior.    

Corona Contracts recently completed a successful project for another happy client in the North West. Our team designed, produced, and installed 48 custom cubicle curtain tracks for a prominent beauty school in the region as part of their ongoing refurbishment. Our tailored design perfectly met the school’s functional needs, offering a quick and convenient way to segment the room with smooth and reliable curtain tracks. The tracks also look great, with a satin silver finish which is sympathetic to the other fixtures and fittings in the school. This project is a perfect example of our commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. By handling both the design and installation processes in-house, we were able to ensure seamless coordination and communication throughout the project. This minimised potential issues, kept everything on schedule and guaranteed a quality end result.  

Corona Contracts recently had the privilege of collaborating with a groundbreaking client who specializes in providing sensory support to individuals with special needs. The client operates a unique centre that is the only facility of its kind, employing state-of-the-art lighting, visuals, and sound equipment to curate tailored sensory experiences for their service users. For this project, Corona Contracts designed, produced, and installed blackout curtains for a dedicated sensory cinema room within the client’s centre. Recognizing the importance of creating a controlled and immersive environment, our blackout curtains were meticulously crafted to spec to ensure complete light blockage and minimise external disturbances, contributing to the overall sensory enhancement of the cinema experience. Our focus on quality and customization aligned seamlessly with the client’s mission to offer a safe and comfortable space for individuals with special needs. This collaboration represents not only our dedication to manufacturing excellence but also our commitment to supporting initiatives that prioritize the well-being and inclusivity of individuals with unique sensory requirements. We are proud to have played a role in the creation of this innovative sensory cinema room and in creating the positive impact that it represents.    

The team at Corona Contracts recently donated materials and labour towards the renovation of an extremely important NHS building in the local area. We are proud to have had the opportunity to support our wonderful health service and the work that they do. In support of the local haematology department, which treats serious blood cancers, we manufactured and installed 16 nr vertical blinds, 9 nr roller blinds & 6 panes of glass with technical frost film for privacy at their site on Whinney Heys Road. The new site makes it easier for people who are less able to travel to other local NHS facilities to get the treatment they need. We were delighted to receive a letter of thanks from Dr. Cahalin and the haematology department at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals for our work, which you can read below. We wish Dr. Cahalin and the team the very best with their vitally important work at Rosemere House.

For clients who have had their blinds for some time, we thought it might be helpful to pull together a little information about how to keep commercial blinds looking great for longer. Stain removal Accidents happen. From time to time your blinds may get splashed with drinks, or become marked simply from daily use. Whatever the cause, take care when attempting to remove stains to avoid permanently discolouring your material. The first port of call should be water. Using a soft cloth and some lukewarm water, gently dab at the offending area. Remember not to...

Protecting our clients from the damaging effects of the sun, including heat, glare and ultra-violet light is what we specialise in here at Corona Contracts, and we are introducing a new motorised blinds supply and installation service in the north west. We provide specialist blinds and curtains designed, manufactured and fitted to specification, and as we are based in Preston we have great access to areas like Lancashire, Cumbria, Cheshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester and Liverpool.

We work closely with clients in order to provide bespoke products for their specific business or institution, making us the go-to choice for businesses and institutions in the north west. Studies have shown that the efficiency of a workforce increases when employees enjoy the environment they work in. A big part of this is creating the right kind of lighting, and being able to easily adjust the amount of sunlight in any room. Nobody wants to work with direct sunlight in their eyes, but at the same time, working exclusively in artificial light isn’t something you would choose either. We...

Anti-ligature blinds and fixings are designed to prevent the tying of materials such as rope or wire to furniture in homes and businesses. This reduces the possibility of individuals using objects such as blinds or door handles to harm themselves or others. Anti-ligature is especially important in buildings where a high level of security and safety is required, such as care homes, hospitals and psychiatric institutions. Though they are an obvious preventative measure against suicide attempts in high-risk environments, anti-ligature blinds and curtains have health and safety benefits when it comes to accidental injuries, too. Tragically, a two-year-old girl from Sunderland was killed when she was playing with her brother and became tangled up in a blind cord earlier this year. Even for those of us who are parents, out of all the potential dangers in the family home, curtain and blind cords might not be one that immediately springs to mind, but 28 children have been killed in this way since 1999. An e-petition asking the government to ban dangerous blinds received over 10,000 signatures and helped to tighten European regulations with regards to this particular product, but there are still hundreds of millions of potentially dangerous blind...

When it comes to window solutions it is easy to go for standard curtains or blinds- perhaps just a replacement of what has been up for the past 10 years.
